Repressed Cinema presents a double dose of SCI-FI: Damon Packard’s SPACE DISCO ONE & A SURPRISE 16MM SCI-FI TV SHOW!
Damon Packard is one of the most exciting underground film directors
today and his movies remain very approachable. They are filled with his
own unique vision and a healthy dose of nods to pop culture: sci fi
movies of the 1970’s collide with his own narratives in this visually
stunning piece. SPACE DISCO ONE (2007) is a sequel to both “Logan’s Run”
and “1984” at the same time with Orwell’s Winston Smith running into
the daughters of Logan 5 and Francis 7 as they’re busy running about a
park firing off laser beams at one another. It’s not until they meet
that Winston realizes they’re actually all fictional characters in a
movie. When not discussing “Battlestar Galactica” with Stargirl 7 and
Francis 8, Winston makes frequent visits to the Ministry of Truth –
known to you and I as Universal Citywalk. And did we mention the roller
rink in space that people have to skate on to get to Earth?
-PLUS-
A SURPRISE 1970’s very obscure 16mm SCI-FI TV show!
